The question of whether the class of decision problems that can be solved by deterministic polynomial-time algorithms, $P$, is equal to the class of decision problems that can be solved by nondeterministic polynomial-time algorithms, $NP$, has been open since it was first formulated by Cook, Karp, and Levin in 1971. In this paper, we give evidence that they are not equal by examining the SUBSET-SUM problem.
